Deli Segal’s one woman show Pickle to run at Soho Theatre this July

Deli Segal’s one woman show Pickle will return to London this summer at Soho Theatre.

Following past sold-out runs at Park Theatre, the dark comedy will run for a limited time at Soho Upstairs from 10 – 12 July.

Writer Deli Segal (Ali & Dahlia, Pleasance Theatre) stars in the cheeky and authentic exploration of what it means to be a young Jewish woman in London today, in a tale brought to life by female-led Jewish creative team.

Ari lives at home in North-West London, where her life is dominated by overbearing parents, tradition and expectations. However, her daily life includes her job, going out – and, inevitably, the dating scene.

Pickle follows Ari as she tries to balance Friday night dinner with drinks at the pub, JSwipe with Hinge, being Jewish and secular. This uproarious simcha of a one-woman show explores a young Jewish woman’s psyche as she navigates her two contrasting worlds with irreverent humour and heart.

Expect smoked salmon, guilt and a large dose of self-deprecation as Pickle brings Ari’s vibrant world to life.

Pickle is written and performed by Segal, produced by Tanya Truman (Confessions of a Rabbi’s Daughter, The Other Palace; Tier Three Sisters, The Hope Theatre) and directed by Kayla Feldman (Swimming, White Bear Theatre; Dear Peter, Iris Theatre), all female Jewish theatre makers who strive to amplify Jewish voices on stage.

Deli Segal said: “It’s an absolute joy to bring Pickle to Soho Theatre, a venue I’ve always admired for championing an exciting programme of new and diverse work. Pickle is a contemporary Jewish female story that explores being caught in the middle of two worlds and celebrates the parts that fit together, and those that don’t.

“I wanted to celebrate and amplify the vibrancy and richness of Jewish culture, and of course, the humour. I’m delighted Pickle has resonated with audiences across the country so far and I’m looking forward to the next stage in its journey at Soho Theatre, a venue with its own Jewish history; the current site, in fact, being home to West End Lane Synagogue until 1996. It feels even more meaningful to perform the work in this hallowed space.”
